//Edited 27/5 with 4.1.10 update info //

Resolume 4.1.9 is a happier and smarter Resolume. 4.1.10 is even happier.

Thanks to your quick and awesome user feedback, we were able to squash a few important bugs that had snuck their way in to the 4.1.9 release. So here's the 4.1.10 update which fixes the following bugs:

[FIXED] Glitches and crashes with some clean aperture clips
[FIXED] Twitch does not load correctly on PC and OSX 10.6.8
[FIXED] Slice stacking order is reversed
[FIXED] Alpha layer blend mode and Alpha clip transition do not work well together
[FIXED] Flash crash on Mac when removing with X button on the clip panel

Stay calm and download 4.1.10.

-------------------------------------
For this update we focused on workflow improvements. Check out the video for a quick overview of the eye catchers.


[fold][/fold]
We tweaked lots of little things in lots of little places. The devil is in the details, so while you’re downloading, check out the full release notes below.

A special note to people on OSX Mavericks: in some cases, Resolume’s performance would drop when the menu bar on the second screen was disabled via ‘Displays have separate Spaces’ in the Mission Control system settings.

In 4.1.9, we are removing the menu bar automatically. So we recommend enabling ‘Displays have separate Spaces’ again in the preferences of your Mac.



NEW: Scroll to layer and clip when made active with shortcut
NEW: Disable scroll to layer and clip via Preferences
NEW: The playhead and In and Out points show their values in MM:SS:FF

FIXED: Cursor no snappy on folded effects
FIXED: If Show in Finder/ Explorer is chosen, would be nice if the file is also actually selected
FIXED: Waveform zoom does not go away when switching to empty clip

Here is the first Resolume release of 2014! Version 4.1.8 fixes a few critical bugs, and the Mac installer is now signed with our Apple Developer ID so it will install without complaining on Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9. We are still working on a few fixes for 10.9 Mavericks but those require a bit more time and will be released in version 4.1.9.

Hit that download, then read the short releases notes:

[FIXED] Crash when setting autopilot for individual clip and switching to non-empty deck
[FIXED] SMPTE delay causes weird jumps around the 1 (and 2 and 3 and...) minute mark
[FIXED] Arena doesn't remember DMX Preferences
[FIXED] Clip menu does not always work for active clip
[FIXED] Crash on shutdown with windowed output

Happy New Year Everybody!

From the files of Resolume, Private Investigator:

"The moment the dame walked in, I knew she meant trouble. I should have never taken the job, but I needed the money. Besides, I'm a sucker for a sweet smile and a twirl of the hips.
[fold][/fold]
I figured it would be an open and shut case of keeping an eye on the husband. Spend a few nights shadowing the guy. Find out where he was spending all his late nights, coming home smelling of expensive liqour and traces of lipstick on his collar.

Turns out there was more to it than that. The dame asked me to check out a gang of bugs. A particularly nasty gang of bugs going by the name of the Shifty Boys.

I found the bugs hanging out in a shady bar called Kernel. I didn't like the looks of them. Not one bit. I took a deep breath, made sure my .45 was loaded. Then I entered the dive…"

Resolume 4.1.7 is a tough as nails PI, that always gets the job done, no matter what.

New Features
[NEW] Enttec USB Pro MK2 support
[NEW] SMPTE input visible in status bar (bottom right)
[NEW] Increase SMPTE input delay compensation to -5000 and +5000 ms
[NEW] Buffered effects (like Trails, RGB Delay and Stop Motion) now flush their buffer after 1 second


New Effects
[NEW] Jitterbug transition - Like TimeSwitcher, only better.
[NEW] Tint - Like Colorize, only better.
[NEW] MirrorQuad - Like Mirror, only better.

Improvements and important bug fixes.
[FIXED] Flash no worky on the Mac
We now include the flash player in the .app bundle so on the mac Resolume does not depend on the flash player that is installed on the system.

[FIXED] Crash when creating new composition, resizing composition and opening midi map
This was a huge thorn in our eye for a long time. Luckily we were finally able to get our hands on a machine that had the problem, and we fixed it up good.

[NEW] Implement latest Enttec DMX USB PRO API (ftd2xx.lib)
This is tech talk that basically means we now speak the same language as Enttec themselves. Entteccian.

[NEW] Layer Opacity 0 = Bypass
When the opacity of a layer is 0 it's not rendered anymore. This can give a huge speed improvement, especially on hi-res compositions with a lot of layers.


Bug Fixes
[FIXED] Strobe effect and plugin do not respect alpha
[FIXED] Hue rotate doesn't like pink
[FIXED] File relocating on PC
[FIXED] Repeatedly triggering a clip with the enter key and receiving midi causes a freeze
[FIXED] Having a slash in comp name doesn't save
[FIXED] Piano mode for beatloopr doesn't really work intuitively
[FIXED] Double clicking a comp file in Finder/Explorer still opens the last loaded comp

Tamas Nagy, ( whom you might know as the creator of the wonderful OSX VJ app Coge ) has created a very powerful yet simple and intuitive timeline control app called Vezér. [fold][/fold]



Using the magic of OSC or tried and true Midi, you can control every parameter in Resolume ( and of course any other OSC or Midi enabled app ). Especially interesting for Resolume users, Vezér has a preset system. So if there are certain addresses you often use, you can save these as a preset. These presets can in turn can be sub categorized, per application or per intended use. Tamas has even been kind enough include a few presets and example compositions for the major VJ players.



On the creative side, it sports some very sexy presets for keyframe interpolation. Every animator worth his or her salt knows good animation is made or broken in your bezier curves. Tamas makes it ridiculously easy to smooth, ease, bounce or spring your animation. Anyone that has tried and failed to keyframe the perfect bouncing ball in After Effects can now breath a sigh of relief.



All in all it's a very well designed little app, both visually and workflow wise. Definitely check it out.

We love making Resolume but sometimes ...

We released version 4.1.4 just 2 weeks ago but it introduced a bug in Arena which caused erratic DMX input behavior. This is now fixed in version 4.1.5.

Please download and resume normal operation.

There are currently over 7 billion people on this planet. 99.99999% of those have never heard of Resolume VJ Software. Most likely they never will.

Still we're plodding away for you, the 0.00001%. Because you matter to us. When we look up to the sky at night, we're not humbled by seeing the context of how small everything actually is. Instead we're thinking of new ways to improve your workflow or how to squash that one annoying bug.

When the sun burns out, we'll be there illuminating the darkness with bright pixels flying past at 60fps. With your help, we'll light up this world with massive glowing screens.

Resolume 4.1.4 adds new features and stomps on critical bugs. Free download
on the site, full release notes below.

Also we updated The Manual to a new format. It's now easier to find things online, and more importantly it's also available in Spanish, Chinese and Japanese. High fives to Carlos, Antonio and Haruka-san!

And of course huge thanks to all of you, from the bottom of the hearts of the whole Resolume team!

Adding features is a dangerous addiction.

You had that bit of code lying around anyway. Throwing it away would be wasting it. So you slowly stick it in to the master, and before you know it, there is a glorious new feature in your software. You close your eyes and think of how happy everyone will be.

Then you're awakened by a loud noise. You open your eyes, and it turns out that your new code is actually causing bugs in places you did not expect and the forum is on fire! The hangover kicks in and the comedowns get worse every time. You fix the bug, and you repeat after yourself: 'I will not add features half way through, I will not add features halfway through, I will not add….'

My name is Resolume, and I'm a feature addict.

Resolume 4.1.3 is a free update which fixes critical bugs, but also adds some kick ass new plugins (because we're feature addicts) and spreads the Resolume love to China and Turkey.

Download Resolume Avenue & Arena 4.1.3 here.

Like any Jedi knows, the dark side is always tempting us. Our intentions are noble and we have nothing but good in mind, yet we stray from the path. But the dark side isn't stronger. It's quicker, easier, more seductive. But not stronger...

This update shows again that at the end of the trilogy, the light side always triumphs. We caught a lot of bugs, and we blew up the Death Star. We defeated Darth Midi Lag and toppled the evil Emperor Syphon Crash. We even freed Han Solo from the clutches of Jabba the VST Plugin Not Showing Up.

We're still not okay with kissing our sister though.

Free download here and check the release notes below. May the force be with you. Always.

We rarely are as excited about an update as we are about this one. Resolume 4.1 comes guns blazing with new additions to the arsenal, and shows everyone there's a new sheriff in town. So strap on your boots and put on your cowboy hat, because here we go!



By popular demand we added masking and cropping to the Advanced Output of Arena.



Also you can now route layers directly to slices, saving composition real estate and generally making your life easier.



Syphon is now natively supported on MacOSX. No more mucking about with 3rd party plugins. Just enable it via the preferences and check them thumbnails!



You can drop the bass like Paris with the new AV example set by Dan Wise.



With the new Layer Router you can now create a clip that takes the input from any layer below. For instance you can take layer 1 and and display it again as layer 4 but perhaps smaller or with a different effect. This is also really handy to create picture in picture compositions. Because the world needs more picture in picture effects.



This is a long wish come true. Like, over 10 year wish come true. Ever since Composite Station, we wanted to have a Japanese version of Resolume, and now that dream has finally come true. Konichiwa, Resolume-san! Thanks to the Projection Mapping Association of Japan.



Besides that of course there's a bunch of improvements to help improve your workflow and the ever important bug fixes. Check the full list below, or head over the download page: http://www.resolume.com/download/

Resolume 4.1.1 bug fixes:
[FIXED] Potential crash when using composition MIDI mapping
[FIXED] Composition MIDI mappings duplicated when switching decks
[FIXED] Serial number registration only valid for one user
[FIXED] APC40 controller dial has incorrect range

We're quite happy with the stability of Resolume 4.0.0. For most people Avenue and Arena are running rock solid. But there's always the odd bug here or there and this update (4.0.1) fixes a few annoyances. Just fixing bugs is no fun so we could not help ourselves and put a few tiny new features in. Just because we can.

The most handy feature ever is that you can now do calculations in all numeric fields. So if you want to make for instance a clip half the width you just type in: 640 / 2 and it will make the width 320 pixels. This is really handy in the advanced output screen if you need to move a slice 10 pixels, you just type + 10 after the position value and it will move. We just love it ;-)



Thanks to Daniel Radutu, Oscar Vaquero Viñes and Ronam Bonfim, Resolume is now also available in Romanian, Spanish, Catalan and Brazilian. Would you also like to translate Resolume? Japanese? Chinese? Swahili? Send us a mail@resolume.com.
